Farmyard 1758

"Farmyard" is a 1758 etching by the French artist Blondel Dazaincourt, depicting a rural scene with a farm building, trees, and a figure sweeping the ground. The simple composition and detailed lines capture the quiet tranquility of rural life. This print is a fine example of Dazaincourt's skill in creating a sense of atmosphere and perspective. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
